Understanding What Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Is

A straightforward yet effective principle—using your body’s own resources to speed up healing—lays at the foundation of PRP treatment. Your own blood serves as the source of PRP. It has a high concentration of platelets, which are tiny blood cells essential for clotting, tissue healing, and growth factor release. PRP stimulates a series of healing processes that help with tissue regeneration and pain relief when applied to an injured location.

Who Should Use Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP therapy isn’t for everyone. It is commonly used by people with chronic pain related to tendon injuries, arthritis, and a variety of physical body injuries. While PRP therapy has been utilized for over 70 years, there is a wide range of applications it can be used for.

Pain & Injury Healing

PRP’s effectiveness in treating pain and injuries is due to its capacity to encourage tissue repair and regeneration. Your body normally responds to an injury by delivering platelets to the site of the damage. These platelets exude growth substances that promote tissue regeneration and cell proliferation. PRP treatment enhances the healing process by increasing this reaction by immediately administering a concentrated amount of platelets to the wounded area.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Used For?

PRP treatment has the potential to treat a variety of illnesses. Below are a few of the common health conditions PRP Therapy is used to treat:

• Tendon Injuries: PRP therapy can help with tendonitis and tendon tears, which are frequently encountered in places like the elbow (tennis elbow) and knee (patellar tendinitis).
• Osteoarthritis: PRP injections into osteoarthritic joints can aid with pain management and improved joint function.
• Ligament Injuries: With the aid of PRP, sprains and partial rips of ligaments, such as the ACL and MCL, can mend more quickly.
• Muscle Injuries: PRP treatment is effective in treating muscle injuries and strains, speeding up healing.
• Chronic Pain: The healing abilities of PRP can provide relief for conditions like chronic plantar fasciitis or lower back pain.

PRP Injections Vs. Saline Injections

Both injections have been found to be effective and studies have found one may be more effective than the other in certain scenarios. The reason PRP is preferred by many is there is a less likelihood of an allergic reaction since the platelet-rich plasma is from your own body. It is also important to note you may still feel some discomfort or soreness from the injection site. This is a common side effect of PRP Therapy.

The PRP Process

The PRP Process consists of a few stages. Your platelet-rich plasma is separated from other blood components using a centrifuge after a tiny sample of your blood is taken. Under ultrasound or fluoroscopy supervision, the concentrated PRP is then injected directly into the damaged region. The treatment is generally well tolerated and minimally intrusive.
